The eagerly awaited debut EP from Mike Midnight arrives as a special anthology of four tracks, with guest co-production from Lovefear and vox by La Favi and Rhianna.
A Jewel Within A Teardrop is a musical journey into the present, using experiences of the past. The project is filled with rap tropes, strings, and fragmented R&B acapellas that gesture at the artist’s own musical lineage.
Throughout the EP, he sculpts and extends his signature rebirthed grime sound into new terrain - distilling his influences down to a sparse palette of manipulated pop, R&B acapellas, icy synths, and metallic drum samples. The release evokes hope for a new age, drawing upon haunting elements of the past. A Jewel Within A Teardrop is a story about the pain of separating from our past and the joy of our reunion with new beginnings in the present.
The EP is mastered by Phoebe Twigg, featuring artwork by Jason Rufov, and co-production from Lovefear.
My fav album of 2024… I don’t say that lightly as there have been many incredible records released this year but this one wow-huge talent to pull this off. Greg Hodgson Design
